Unofficial reports are stating President Trump plans to end DACA, with a six-month delay. At this moment we do not know what this means, but we do know Congress must move quickly to protect DREAMers (DACA recipients). We call upon the administration to thoroughly assess the consequences this action will have on many of the brightest minds in our country. They are individuals who are leading the way academically, are contributing to our society and economy, and are proud Americans.

Rescinding DACA will take talented youth out of the classrooms, universities, and workforces across the nation. It means tearing apart families. This action will have an irreparable, long lasting impact on those who have only known one home and believe in one dream - the American dream.

It is a scary and uncertain time for anyone that may be affected. During this period of unpredictability, our sisterhood will remain the welcoming and loving niche on campuses, and support all members equally as they pursue a better life, serve as active members of our communities, and fulfill their dreams through education. We ask that you keep our sisters and friends close and offer comfort and support.

Ways to get involved:

We urge you to defend DACA by contacting your Representative in Congress to demand action from Speaker Ryan to introduce the DREAM Act to the House floor.

If there are any sisters with questions being directly impacted by this decision on DACA, please contact Paula Martinez (Chi chapter - University of Texas at San Antonio) at [email protected].

DACA students are leaders in our communities and universities across the country. They have demonstrated that they are Americans in mind, heart, and spirit. They have enriched and strengthened their communities, schools, and businesses across the nation. Removing the protection provided under DACA is unacceptable and will severely impact the future of this country. It would be detrimental to the economy, our education systems and break apart families. Kappa Delta Chi will support our membership and defend DACA.
